I agree w/ Mutt, a good deal of modern art is the Emperor's New Clothes. Some of Picasso's work he turned out later in life - by his own admissions- was crap. He would scribble on napkins at restaurants to pay tabs. He was the blueprint for Warhol, "Let's see what these rich fucks will buy today!"

Guernica was a great painting that I too appreciate. I also had a phase when I was super impressed by cubism and what Picasso did to build the style.
A lot of artists goto crap, look at Dali, his later stuff was just shit.
